The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and ARTIDIS AG today announced a strategic alliance to investigate ARTIDIS technology as a novel treatment-optimization tool for patients with solid tumors in several distinct indications.

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play significant roles in various biological events. Due to their non-intuitive physical structures, analysis and understanding of their dynamics have proven challenging. Innovative atomic force microscopy techniques have emerged as a potential tool to gain insights into the structure of IDPs.

Modern microscopic methods such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) have significantly increased our understanding of bitumen microstructure. This article will discuss this topic further, looking at applications and the industry’s future.

Chemical reactions often produce messy mixtures of different products. Hence, chemists spend a lot of time coaxing their reactions to be more selective to make particular target molecules. Now, an ...

The high-resolution property of atomic force microscopes enables this powerful tool to be ideal for the characterization of nanoparticles and nanomaterials due to providing qualitative and quantitative data on a range of physical properties.

Atomic force microscopy is a decent candidate as a characterization technique for energy research because it can locally examine nanoscale electrochemical processes.

Atomic force microscopy can address many food quality analysis challenges owing to the excellent spatial resolution meaning species such as bacteria can be detected and local inhomogeneities in the food texture can be visualized.

In a pre-proof article posted in Ultramicroscopy, researchers presented combined photothermal and photovoltaic effects produced by light absorption in the visible spectrum by atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes.

A busy start to July saw the Royal microscopical Society’s AFM & SPM Meeting 2022 and Frontiers in Bioimaging 2022 both taking place in the same week, with the RMS congratulating the prize winners at each event. Click to read more...

In this article, we discuss AFM sample preparation, the differences in sample preparation for various types of nanomaterials, and some factors to consider during AFM sample preparation for best results.
